I think you're on the wrong track, there. One thing that is wonderful about MStarDic is that it presents multiple dictionary results so clearly.

What you might consider doing is arranging the order if the dictionaries in the options menu, which will subsequently mirror the order in which the definitions appear.

In this way, you can control which definitions come first, and you will know with certainty where the definition is that you would like.

For example, I have my Chinese-English dictionary listed last. The purpose being, whenever I look up a word in English for any reason (like for a simple definition, a word form, part of speech, origin, etc.) I'm always able to look at the Chinese translation as very the last thing I do. Doing this helps me build up my Chinese vocabulary in ways that I might not otherwise actively do.
